클린 에너지 구역

Through the Clean Energy Precinct, Port of Newcastle will support all hydrogen, and clean energy projects in the Hunter by providing land, utilities, storage, transport, and export infrastructure and services – in turn generating over 5,800 jobs, new educational pathways, and expanded economic growth.

대규모 청정 에너지 에코시스템

Port of Newcastle’s Clean Energy Precinct has received a $100 million funding grant for hydrogen readiness from the Australian Government, administered by the NSW Government, which effectively designates the Port as the State’s future hydrogen hub. Through the Clean Energy Precinct, Port of Newcastle will establish and enable the Hunter Region’s new clean energy economy by forming connections across infrastructure, markets, and people.

The Clean Energy Precinct will offer common user, open access, shared infrastructure across clean energy storage, transport, and export facilities. The common user model encourages efficiency through economies of scale and supply chain coordination and is a critical part of the existing energy supply chain at the Port.

The storage, transport, and export facilities will serve the clean energy production facilities both within the Clean Energy Precinct and throughout the Hunter Region. This allows for new connections between renewable energy projects, clean energy production projects and the Port’s biggest asset, its deepwater channel.

Three of NSW’s top five electricity and gas users are within 20km of the Port. The Precinct will integrate clean energy production and storage with the Hunter’s Hydrogen Hub gateway projects, the State’s Renewable Energy Zones, and offshore wind developments.

파트너십 기반

Partnerships are critical in supporting Port of Newcastle’s Clean Energy Precinct, helping scale up infrastructure and position Australia as a major hydrogen and ammonia producer and exporter into the future.

By combining local, Australian and international expertise, skills, and research, we can remain agile in this emerging landscape and work collaboratively to provide a faster pathway to scale. The Clean Energy Precinct has already attracted a broad range of local and international support. It has secured 15 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreements and 15 letters of intent from other organisations.
